Can this be fixed?
Dropped the car at the mechanic for a valve adjustment and ... this happened. He's honest and believes me (and I believe myself since I had taken a little souvenir photo when I left the car with him a few days back).
He says he will take care of it but I am wondering if it is worth it. Can this be fixed? What would it involve?
I don't have all the free time in the world so drop off, pick up, phone calls back and forth is something that costs me a lot.

The plastic repair is easy, the hard part would likely be the paintwork, depending on how much your paint has weathered and the skill level of the person painting it.

There’s a shop by the name of Pacific Paint Match that does small repairs like this and from what I have seen on the IG account and website they do some good work. They do lots of touch ups for the higher end dealers here in SoCal. Unfortunately they aren’t close to you but they may know someone who does similar work up in your area. I would give them a shout.

Thanks guys, at this point (and even though I am not pleased) I am still wondering if I want to trouble myself with a repair :/
Tarek, I am in San Francisco but I have always wanted to come drive your nice LA roads one day. I might come work down there for a few days in June, I'll ping you!
